The fact is most of you here never leave the sight of

land because your
boats are not steel and so seaworthy as to be near

unsinkable, so let's
pretend.

You are on a Disney cruise ship, the SS Mickey Mouse

hits an iceberg
and sinks.


Okay so the steel boat has now sunk...

Yelp...even the best can sink...look at the titanic

Luckly you, clawed your way aboard one of the

lifeboats.
Now you must take command and and navigate your boat

back to land.


The boat that saves you after the steel boat failed and

sank is made
of what material?

Inferior plastic, rubber or fiberglass.


If plastic, rubber and fiberglass are so inferior, then

why aren't the
lifeboats made of steel? Seems like its always those boats

made from
"inferior" materials are what you can depend on to save

your life when
the steel boat fails.



What is the CG cutter that's about to rescue you made of?


Scotty, no USCG ship, boat, or plane is coming. They mis-understood the
maday for another commerical for the Pirates of the Carribean.

How can you use what you have left to navigate to save yourself?
